This. I find that I am very particular about gloves. I need the right ones to avoid problems.
I need padding across the entire heel of the hand. But the fashion the last 5 years has been to leave the center unpadded. But that's bad for me: I get pains shooting up my wrist.
Pearl Izumi made good gloves but changed; then I found some Specialized gloves that worked. They recently changed them too but I bought a few pair befiore the change.
